36 Nostalgic tales : Illayaraja's 16 Vayathiniley

I recently received an interesting forward articulating nostalgic experience on Isaignani Illayaraja's "16 Vaythiniley" experience. I felt , It was worthwhile to translate in English and listen to these songs with context of it composition. Thanks to the writer who had captured the story well..glad and humbly acknowledge the same

Since this was a filim with low budget, apparently Raja sir wanted to limit the costs from the onset of the recording, Keeping that in mind, he had requested poet laureate Kannadasan's assistant Kannappan to reduce the salary to half. The greatness of Kannadasan was such that,He just walked in to the studio without any hassle with an only intention to write for Raja.

Bhartiraja the director of the movie narrated the placement of the song and context , Kavignar, has enquired on the tune which was half heartedly Okayed by Bharathiraja .. This was the song "Chevvandhi Poo Mudinja Chinnaka" 





------------------------


The second song, was composed with a context the hero Chappani (Kamal) is trying make Mayil (Sridevi) laugh as she is in a very sober state , the song is 


-----------------------

Bharti and I had already been thinking about this grandmother. "What grandma! Mancak kuliccirukkiye! '" He asked, "Old ninaipputa peranti' remember that we had listened to the village. I mean, this woman is our opinion that it would be better if you can sort of tell. But it did not tell the poet.

Kavinaro song "Lamb on eggs' shown Crone set up the launching of the" old-old ninaipputa ninaipputa peranti ...! '' She says in conclusion.

We are saying, the poet wrote to us in our minds that it was surprising. It had become a poet and Saraswati.

"Chrysanthemum flower finish 'made the decision that we can sing the song espipalacuppiramaniyattai, invited them to rehearsals. Balu came. All rehearsals take-over Baalu ​​invited separately." Palu rattiriyellam Leave cuttaratai out. I went out for friends. Do cuttinatula Trail throat kattikkittutunnu dawn to dawn. Otherwise, the song will go to someone else, '' he said.

Balu 'yes' when he failed to adjust said.

At 7 o'clock the next morning eviemm've compose the song Me ï cikkaiyellam. Breakfast the following morning at 9 over pirekkai `puja started.

Having begun rehearsals for the song of 11 hours to prepare forms.

Balu has not yet come. We searched for different accusations. At 11-30 Palu to come straight to me, "Dei! Tontaiyellam poccuta hug ... '', and said the matter kattaikkural.

"Saw? Nette I said, do not you? That came cencittu nikkariye '' I said.

Paratiyitamum me carita '' he said Balu left.

Retiyakivittatu everything. Janaki Chorus rehearsals is over too.

Paluvukkuppatil Whom to sing? `Tirakkai alone has the habit of making the record. And it will be recorded during the prayer song. Should be singing.

Just wondering. Malaysia Vasudevan was a prayer that came to my account.

Malaysia Vasudevan called. "Start learning the song that taught the song.

Vasu have confirmed it, to sing a song he recorded.

Unavukkuppiraku lunch, "Lamb eggs' to record the song.

Vasu to sing like this, and made a lame man.

But in rehearsals vacuvo sing everything all right, "when the tag converter pativittar. 'Subject to ignorant person might think that everyone sings to us patatteriyatu' enappayantu, as with normal playback singer

Pativittarituvarai now go waste all the effort I had to be unaccompanied song

Nirakivittatuippotum yourself by listening to the song. Elimaittanam which will be an ignorant boor bottle. Singing villager who would be similar to the detail.

As a prolific composer of such losses.

Next it was time to record the song.

Peacock (Sridevi) How does he imagine that his dream lover in the mood for the song said that Bharti.

'This song may be similar to those of any of the directors composer. Or is this model that apiprayamo, counsel or does not say. Song explained the situation, as well as leave. Composer, poet and what to pay, so accept it.

If necessary, ask a minor change is needed. They will get it immediately.

The song was put on display some of the D ï nkalai. No wonder Bharti favorite model. Then put yourself in a T ï, "Bharti! It would be better, '' he insisted. That" centurappuve ... 'song tune. Ï amaintuvittat further fine tune `t's" left not compose anything. So that the D ï ntan katcikkenru conclusion.

"The Met say the poet to write a song? '' He asked Bharati." Write with someone new, "said Bharati. In addition, notwithstanding "Why amarane elutattume '' he said.

All of us, including the poet Kannadasan kavinarakat terintareyanri session only, it does not appear kavinarakak anyone else. Amaran 'write' Bharati said that I did not say anything in response. Amaran that do not prevent

35. Aayarpaadi Maaligaiyil - Melodious and blissful Krishna Gaanam

35. Aayarpaadi Maaligaiyil - Melodious and blissful Krishna Gaanam

As few of you already know and follow the daily Sri Aandal Paasurams  in English : http://timeisthemaster.blogspot.in/  and in Tamil :http://kalathinkatalai.blogspot.in/ I'm compiling during this month of Maargazhi .. while completing the post for day 5.. i got reminded of a lovely rendering of one and only SPB composed by Late M S V written by Kaviyarasu Kannadasan - yes the anthem of Krishna songs in Tamil  "Sri Krishna Gaanam." -"Aayar paadi Maligayil"

Sri Krishna Gaanam, is said to be a stand alone track which does not feature in any movies. This was recorded for an audio company in a very short span of time right from the composition to the lyrics and recording. were done in few hours is what I'm informed from an interview .Every song is a gem and a master piece. Its a standing example of excellence at work. The whole album, has around eight songs rendered by the leading artists ..the album follows through a grammar .Each and every song captures various stories as metaphors from Srmad Bagavada and Mahabharatha ..any one who listens to these songs is sure to have goose bumps for two reasons one for the music whether you understand the language or not and other for the meaningful and soulful lyrics when you understand the language, Here is a quick short note on each of the song, as  I always say this is an attempt of a layman to write upon a glorious piece of work and description is subjected to limitedness of my awareness and not of the great work rendered by the legends.

01.Guruvayooruku Vaarungal - sung by Smt P Susheela .. the song captivates the day to day events of Guruvayoor and one can experience the Guruvayoor seeveli by listening to the song..the fragrance of ghee and warmth will fill the air when the singer chants Narayana - Narayana- Hari Hari Narayana Narayana.

02.Pullanguzhal Kodutha Moongilgaley - Sung By TMS..one of the very famous songs of the album .. highlights the beauty of Lord Krishna with a metaphors of nature and alikes..! simply astounding

03.Gopiyarey Gopiyarey - Sung by Smt L R Eswari, is a lively folk - gummi paatu which calls the damsel of Ayarpadi to sing and dance praising Lord Krishna in various forms..it captures various miracles performed by Sri Krishna in Aayarpaadi

04.Aayarpaadi Maaligaiyil - Sung by S PB-- which was the beginning point of this post..once the play list started .. i felt the entire album is wonderful that it would be unfair to just pick only one song..A lovely lullaby which must have drawn me to doze has kindled me to blog about the whole album...

05. Gokulathil Oru Naal Raadhai : Sung by Smt P Susheela again a song highlighting romance and Oodal between the lovers. The song is elevated to the greatest level with the amazing tabla work and narration written by Kaviyarasar


06. Gokulathil Pasukal ellam : Sung by Smt S Janaki.. highlights the abundance in Ayarpaadi because of lord krishna...

07.Kothayin Thirupaavai :  Sung by Sri Veeramani is song welcoming Lord Krishna and narrates the beauty of Lord Krishna's arrival with set of metaphors of nature and instances of Srimad Bagavada and Mahabharatha

08.Amarajeevitham Swami Amudha Vaahanam: Sung by MSV himself and what a way to wrap up the album with divine OM lingering through out in Mridangam and takes to a level of serenity..At the outset if one listens it would appear like a random sprinkling of lyrics across the song but its actually  a well written chain of sanskrit verses customized in Tamil album

In Short, this is the anthem of Sri Krishna songs in Tamil and has been invariably part of all Sri Krishna Jayanthi celebrations all around and considering the age of the song and it remains as young and lively its for sure it would be there forever for another century.

Sarvam Krishnaarpanam.!!!
